I like the eerie, uneasy mood in this image. It feels like the village of the damned. I'm half expecting Stephen King to walk into frame. Beautifully composed too.

I have no idea what a transformator house is, but this is such a well made pic! Very nice!

In this particular situation, it is a little building in the local rural style meant to conceal a transformator and switching relais on a high power line to feed a local electricity network.
Here, the air power line was dismantled and just that house like building was still standing unused and overgrown, you can see that a concrete pole was left and the shadow of an other one...

I love your images! My question is why are you rating your film at w 1000 Asa?

Dear DonW,

First, thank you for this compliment.

I rate my films at 1000ASA and develop them as they were 1600ASA, just to 'open' the shadows a little...
I work with a 6x17cm panoramic camera and the lens, a Schneider-Kreuznach Super-Angulon 90mm, covers the long negative, 17cm long, best at F16, add to that a center filter (-2 stops).
And sometimes, forced by the lack of sufficient light, at F11 and without a center filter, still at 1000ASA!
As I don't like tripods at all (heavy, cumbersome, to static and ugly), I shoot handheld, so I need at least a shutter speed of minimum 1/125 sec with this camera and lens.
My ideal is F16, 1/125 sec + center filter (and sometimes a Yellow filter), Tri-X (if available) exposed at 1000ASA (incident light metering) and developed as a 1600ASA in X-Tol 1+1 for 15min at 20°C.

Thanks! That was an excellent explanation.

I'm shooting 6x12 in a Graflex handheld.
